That need for warm and cosy extends to appetizers. My two all-time favourite hot dips are smoked salmon, and spinach-artichoke. I could easily eat the entire thing. If there wasn’t a witness (Hubby) I probably would!

Here’s the link for the best hot spinach dip I’ve found. So far. If you have what you think is a better version, send it to me. Pleeeeez!

And here’s the recipe for the salmon dip. My friend Janet passed it on and I don’t know where she got the recipe, so I can’t give credit where it’s due, except to Janet for passing it on. I generally make a half recipe, more than enough for two greedy guts, or four restrained adults.
